About Us

Building a New Haven where everyone has the opportunity to succeed.

Our Mission

Connecticut Community Outreach Revitalization Program (ConnCORP) is focused on economic development in New Haven. ConnCorp was designed to advance ConnCAT’s mission to provide opportunities to New Haven’s underserved residents. 


Our key activities include the acquisition and revitalization of commercial properties as well as investment in new and existing local community-based businesses. ConnCORP also seeks to attract businesses to New Haven and, ultimately, to catalyze and support a place-based impact investing ecosystem in the city.


Our Mission: To drive economic development and economic justice in impoverished communities by investing in local commercial and residential real estate, and minority-owned businesses.


Our Vision: To create a community where ALL citizens are thriving economically, and socially.
